What a wonderful day was had in Killorglin Golf Club on Saturday last at our inaugural fundraising Golf Classic -sponsored by Derek Twiss. Thirty four teams took to the course in amazing sunshine.
The spectacular views didn’t seem to distract the golfers- with some very high scores coming in after the 18th. Perhaps it was the delicious burger served up after the 10th that sharpened their shots!
First prize of €600 was won by team James Long, Keel, 2nd prize – a four ball in Waterville went to team Derek Twiss and 3rd prize- a four ball in Beaufort went to Firies GAA team.
Nearest to the Pin was won by Pat Lynch and the longest drive went to Damian Harmon. Congratulations to Nigel Wrenn who won the signed All Ireland (2009) winning Kerry jersey in the raffle.
